   About Ellen



Hello, I'm Ellen, thanks for stopping by my page... I learned to play music from being quite young, and I've been writing for a few years, but now, through the wonders of myspace, you can hear my songs. Thank you kindly Stickboy for recording and mixing them for me... and you. I do hope you enjoy listening. I have recently got a full band together of great musicians, so will be gigging with full band, but also the odd acoustic slot here and there. The band myspace has a few more songs on, so if you fancy a listen the url is www.myspace.com/ellenandtheescapades, or just click on the big banner at the top!

Love it. The constant harmonising made me think of les Beats. Seriously nice sound, the Ellen on Ellen harmony section.

I like 'Stone Bird' very much. The harmonies are really effective, and the harmonica is a nice touch at the end.

No, I don't mind. Thanks for finding me. Beautiful songs. Like them a lot.

Hello you! Stone Bird's lovely. A wee nod to Nick Drake on the guitar I think, which is always a good thing. Nice harmonies too. Great stuff - even just as it is! Well done - again.

Awrabest!

How does one go about getting a gig in this nice little venue of yours then?

Probably wise. How was your gig? There was pretty much nobody at mine! I ended up going a bit loop mad at the end.
